Mosaic,
the nation’s peer-to-peer platform for solar finance, and Enphase
Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ:ENPH), a global leader in solar energy systems,
join forces to launch the first home solar loan packaged with
residential operations and maintenance (O&M) services, offering
unprecedented simplicity and value for homeowners and installers.

Prior to today, many homeowners have preferred solar leases to loans
because of the worry-free maintenance and performance guarantees offered
with most leases. Today, this “service gap” closes as Mosaic and Enphase
work together to offer homeowners solar ownership for no down payment
and immediate savings on energy bills. Mosaic’s new loan product,
packaged with Enphase® O&M services, is expected to fulfill at least
$100 million in loan volume with this new market initiative over the
next 18 months. The companies announced this alliance together at
Intersolar North America, the most-attended solar exhibition in the
United States.

The Mosaic Home Solar Loan, leveraging Enphase’s unparalleled
technology, can provide homeowners hassle-free ownership of a solar PV
system. Mosaic offers a fully-automated online portal that allows
homeowners to process all paperwork instantaneously, to have a solar
energy system installed and to benefit from a prepaid service plan for
no money up-front, while lowering their monthly electric bill. Through
the Mosaic Home Solar Loan, homeowners maximize their return on
investment by keeping the investment tax credit and owning their solar
system. Additionally, the Mosaic Home Solar Loan mitigates any potential
issues for the homeowner when selling the house as the loan can be paid
off at any time with no penalty or transferred to the new homeowner.

The Enphase service offering provides the homeowner peace of mind
through Enphase managed monitoring, analytics and proactive maintenance
programs. Enphase will leverage its Enlighten
platform for the loan package, which allows the company to monitor
module-level performance through its microinverters. Currently, Enphase
monitors 160,000+ systems globally and collects over 500 GB of
performance data daily. In addition, Enphase
MyEnlighten brings homeowners an elegant interface to view and share
their solar energy production and performance online and with most
mobile devices.

For installers, this joint offering unlocks solar for a new set of
customers seeking the benefits of ownership and the comfort of O&M
services. In conjunction with the installer, Mosaic and Enphase will
leverage their expansive marketing capabilities to reach the homeowners
who are seeking out the bundled offering. Additionally, the Mosaic and
Enphase software-based platforms bring speed and efficiency to the
installer’s sales process, allowing the installer to close more deals
and efficiently manage their working capital. Finally, the service
offering mitigates the installer’s time spent on services and O&M
allowing them to focus on selling and installing systems.

“We are very excited to partner with Mosaic and offer installers and
homeowners a new way to finance and manage residential PV systems,” says
Marty Rogers, vice president, global customer service and support at
Enphase. “Enphase offers a comprehensive solar energy system with
proactive O&M services that will transform the installer’s ability to
capitalize on the growing segment of solar loans by having more time and
resources to contribute to the sales process.”

“Mosaic homeowners can now have complete peace of mind when getting a
Mosaic Home Solar Loan,” says Billy Parish, Founder and Chairman of
Mosaic. “We are thrilled to launch this ground-breaking product with
Enphase as our qualified O&M service provider.”

This alliance is a significant step forward for the residential solar
loan asset class. Lenders and investors have historically viewed solar
loans as riskier than their lease counterparts because there is no
assurance that the system will continue to produce energy after
installation. With the proactive service offering from Enphase Energy,
loans now join leases in their appeal to more conservative investors and
move one step closer to securitization.

As Enterprise business moves from Monoliths to Microservices, adoption and successful implementations of Microservices become more evident. The goal of Microservices is to improve software delivery speed and increase system safety as scale increases. Documenting hurdles and problems for the use of Microservices will help consultants, architects and specialists to avoid repeating the same mistakes and learn how and when to use (or not use) Microservices at the enterprise level. The circumstance w...

Today, we have more data to manage than ever. We also have better algorithms that help us access our data faster. Cloud is the driving force behind many of the data warehouse advancements we have enjoyed in recent years. But what are the best practices for storing data in the cloud for machine learning and data science applications?

"Avere Systems deals with data performance optimization in the cloud or on-premise. Even to this day many organizations struggle with what we call the problem of data gravity - 'Where should I put the data?' - because the data dictates ultimately where the jobs are going to run," explained Scott Jeschonek, Director Cloud Solutions at Avere Systems, in this SYS-CON.tv interview at 21st Cloud Expo, held Oct 31 – Nov 2, 2017, at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, CA.

If a machine can invent, does this mean the end of the patent system as we know it? The patent system, both in the US and Europe, allows companies to protect their inventions and helps foster innovation. However, Artificial Intelligence (AI) could be set to disrupt the patent system as we know it. This talk will examine how AI may change the patent landscape in the years to come. Furthermore, ways in which companies can best protect their AI related inventions will be examined from both a US and...

They say multi-cloud is coming, but organizations are leveraging multiple clouds already. According to a study by 451 Research, only 21% of organizations were using a single cloud. If you've found yourself unprepared for the barrage of cloud services introduced in your organization, you will need to change your approach to engaging with the business and engaging with vendors. Look at technologies that are on the way and work with the internal players involved to have a plan in place when the ine...

More and more companies are looking to microservices as an architectural pattern for breaking apart applications into more manageable pieces so that agile teams can deliver new features quicker and more effectively. What this pattern has done more than anything to date is spark organizational transformations, setting the foundation for future application development. In practice, however, there are a number of considerations to make that go beyond simply “build, ship, and run,” which changes how...

Digital Transformation: Preparing Cloud & IoT Security for the Age of Artificial Intelligence. As automation and artificial intelligence (AI) power solution development and delivery, many businesses need to build backend cloud capabilities. Well-poised organizations, marketing smart devices with AI and BlockChain capabilities prepare to refine compliance and regulatory capabilities in 2018. Volumes of health, financial, technical and privacy data, along with tightening compliance requirements by FTC, CUI/DFARS, EU-GDPR and the underlying National Cybersecurity Framework suggest the need for a ground-up re-thinking of security strategies and compliance actions. This session offers actionable advice based on case studies to demonstrate the impact of security and privacy attributes for the cloud-backed IoT and AI ecosystem.
